HELP please..i just updated my iphone to 3.0 with my tmobile sim installed and now its stuck on the screen that shows the itunes logo and a usb. I forgot what that is called i feel like such an amateur but is this normal? should I continue to run redsn0w?

I am SOOOOOOOOO irritated. I've tried installing 3.0 every way possible, but it asks me for a ****** at&t sim card for activation, EVEN AFTER I JAILBROKE. I installed custom firmware, but no difference :-@

Can someone please give me advice on how to make it work?

What did you use to jailbreak? PWNAGE or redsn0w? If you used PWNAGE you need to make sure you enable activation which I'm not so sure it works all that well cause I tried doing it at one point and I has some issues as well. If you used redsn0w then yea you have to have an AT&T sim to activate. Just go borrow one from a friend or just roll down to AT&T and get a blank one to stick in your phone.

dude that's fine just use redsn0w to jailbreak it then use ultrasn0w to unlock it

Forgive my blatant ignorance.
I have an iPhone 2G with 2.2.1 OS that NEEDS to be unlocked, otherwise it wont recognize any carrier on the country (they only sell iPhone 3G). I've seen around here people talking about jailbreaking only the iPhone 3G (besides not mentioning anything about a successful unlock). So, the question is: will there be a chance to have my iPhone (2g) with 3.0 jailbroken AND unlocked any time soon?

Note: not really necessary but anyway, I don't want the "get another one" sort of answer, thank you.

What is the difference between ultrasnow and redsnow? It says that redsnow is a "multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS)". And here it says that the ultrasnow "Unlocking your 3.0 iPhone or iPhone 3G is super easy now".

According to that above, the redsnow already unlocks/jailbreaks the iPhone 2G/3G, so what does this ultrasnow do that the redsnow doesn't? And whats with all these new app names - what happened to just PwnageTool/Quickpwn. Do these new apps do things that those two dont?

ultrasn0w is for UNLOCKING the 3G iPhone
redsn0w is for Jailbreaking iPhone2G/3G & iPod Touch 1G/2G
